Strictly Come Dancing's Bobby Brazier had everyone in tears with his Couple’s Choice dance in tribute to his late mother Jade Goody.

The judges were all choked up and Shirley Ballas was in tears after watching his moving performance to his favourite song This Woman’s Work by Maxwell.

He said: "I'd love to spend a day with her, just to see where I get my smile from."

And he hoped viewers would feel "empowered by sadness" as he shared his grief through dance.

And Strictly fans will continue to be disappointed over the lack of 40s this series because Craig Revel Horwood still didn't get out his 10 paddle.

Even after Ellie Leach's incredibly steamy Argentine Tango, which he said was "clean as a whistle".
